Hi all,
I need some creativity from you all. I've been asked by the UK linuxuser magazine people if I know anyone who could write technical tutorials (eg installing a L.i.f.e thin-client setup) of about 2000 words for them.
There might be some payment but that's not a given - they have to eat too.
So, we must have people in our community who, maybe with some writing help from us, could do this. How do we contact them? Does anyone have any ideas? I could obviously blog, or ask on -project, but I would like to hear your thoughs too.
And if any of you would be willing to work with a techie on such an article, doing some editing and working on wording etc, step up now :D
Cheers, Jos
As a FYI, it seems there is some misunderstanding around my mail - sorry for the sloppy wording: The writing is for an UK magazine. You can demand at least a subscription for half a year or something if you write for them :D As a matter of fact I will be writing a column for them and they want to feature openSUSE tutorials (and other articles!) in general - LIFE was just an example. Note that they are not the only ones seeking such input: I know of many magazines and sites where articles would get a decent spot. So anyone who enjoys writing, let me know and I hook you up. You should have noticed already know Helen South wrote a cool article on linux.com: http://www.linux.com/component/content/article/81-applications/372958- collaboration-across-borders-at-the-opensuse-conference And there is surely room for more articles on their site ;-) Cheers, Jos
